[quote name="Fullofkittens"][quote name="fabio"]Assault /w ghost armor + alloy shotgun = all you'll ever need[/quote] The game gets pretty easy at this point, you kinda feel bad for the aliens. [quote]I still cannot get any use out of snipers. I'm not sure how the squad size perk works, but I never notice any improved vision. They're permanently stuck being heavies without rockets or the ability to move+shoot. Slap a scope on heavies and they get on par with the one advantage a sniper has.[/quote] I guess this is down to play style? I got a lot of use out of mine, but my default strategy is to set up a web of guys all overwatching and then slowly advance it, so a lot of times my sniper is taking out 2-3 guys per round. [quote]Has anyone ever had a use for pistols? Let alone bothering to upgrade them?[/quote] Nope, pistols are useless. [quote]On the 2nd playthrough and doubt I'll finish. Holy shit though, you'd think with the 2nd wave options enabled it would at least skip all the cutscenes. Nope. Enemy reveal cutscenes, cutscenes for engineer and scientist character to babble about crap in-mission, cutscenes for the VIP to babble. Cannot skip any of them.[/quote] The engineer/scientist/VIP conversations are just audio clips that play while you can do other things, aren't they? [/quote]
